The Old Gray Lady

Another in the annals of the New York Times Style section on upscale urban parenting...

If you look at the comments, on page 5 a couple of the people profiled in the article commented, more or less hurt or amused at the mostly negative response to their parenting choices to put designer furniture above their children. My question is, why would anyone agree to be the focus of a NYT Style section article on parenting NOT expecting to be portrayed as a completely shallow, over-priviledged twit? It's their stock in trade! Don't these people READ the Times Style section?

Baby name notes: rich people with designer furniture are likely to name thier kids: Harrison, Cole, Brooke, Raine, Beckett, Vin, Fia, Ryder, Seth.

go team mr. flea!

mr. flea went to an engineering job fair at his school last Thursday and Friday and today got two requests for interviews from local/regional consulting forms, based on his resumes and chats with them. Consulting is his least preferred job out of all the possibilities, and neither of the fiorms are the couple of specialized consulting forms he was most interested in, but YAY!
